I have a question. If i don't want to use quota in postfix (becuse only i use my server and i don't need no quota), can i simply skip the point that describes how to apply quota patch to postfix and quota exceedance notifications?

Well, I set up everything that is described in Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV) howto.
And everything works great, except one thing:
I can't connect to my mailserver with for example mozilla thunderbird mail client from any another computer. It says that password is wrong, and even courierpop3login says:
Jan 6 22:10:07 lintvern courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:193.77.177.132]

Anyway, I have another question. What if someone sends e-mail to root or some other users from /etc/aliases. Should I put all users from /etc/aliases to forwardings table?

No, don't put real system users into the database!
If someone sends mails to users from /etc/aliases, these mails will get delivered as described in /etc/aliases. Postfix can distinguish between system users and virtual users.

I followed the instructions and there is /home/vmail directory on my server! I don't know why courier doesn't find it.

But there are some real system users on my server, for example myself (ruskicar = postmaster). And postfix says there is no user ruskicar in virtual table...so I don't get any mail in mutt (as i was used to before).

Yes I manage lintvern.net as a virtual domain in mysql postfix database.
But I don't want to add my email to mysql database, because I want that postfix recognizes me as a real system user. If I add [email protected] to mysql, than I should put all /etc/aliases to mysql, shouldn't I?

Just something: What if I put some other subdomain in mysql domain list (for example email.lintvern.net). Will then mail for [email protected] work normal? And if I then add user jammz with /bin/false shell, will he be able to connect my server via pop3?
Because I can make that, if it's about to work ofcourse .
